The Lost City of Z (20176)

Man becomes the foremost English explorer, leaving his wife and young family on their own for months -- sometimes years.

The book was quite a slog and the movie stays true to form. Just very linear with no one to really root for. And the ending suffers from “Perfect Storm” syndrome -- no one who was there is around to tell the story, so all of the dialogue is made up from whole cloth… that feels cheap.
